OK, there are disproportionately many Jewish scientists, but how else does "Eliezer Yudkowsky" sound like a scientist's name?
Now, if you really want a name that sounds like a scientist, how about renaming yourself Isaac Feynmann, Galileo Crick, or Rosalind Newton?
Actually, most people will identify with a scientist's last name more than a first name - so pick a scientist's last name that sounds like a first name for your own first name, and then another last name that sounds like a last name for your last name.
I'll be Maxwell Tesla.
Too funny; those are the middle names of my kids! :)
Maxwell Edison's probably better known....
Yes, but my internal inference-checker refuses to be associated with it.
I expect ialdabaoth wants to be thought of as a scientist, not a sociopath.
